We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

Origin and ontogeny of the extrafloral nectaries associated to the inflorescences of Vigna candida and Vigna caracalla (Leguminosae, Phaseoleae) [PDF]
The morphology , ontogeny and secretion of the extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) in the inflorescences of Vigna candida and Vigna caracalla were studied. The node s along the inflorescences were processed with standard techniques for light as well as scanning

Structure of trichomatous nectaries in flowers of Lonicera kamtschatica (Sevast.) Pojark.
The structure of the floral nectaries of Lonicera kamtschatica was examined using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Nectariferous tissues are located in the lower portion of the corolla tube.
